Many Reject Christ’s Kingship

DVRodriguez2024-10-21T23:24:45-04:00

Jesus Christ is King. This is a great dogma of our faith. All things are created by Him and for Him. The State has an obligation towards Him and man's laws must be subject to His Law. The only way to have peace is for all nations to submit to Christ the King. Yet many so called Christians – even in the Church – reject His kingship. Our presidential candidates do not confess Christ's Kingship. Bishops are not defending this truth. Francis' recent statements are blasphemous and heretical against this doctrine. As small individuals we may not be able to change [...]

Christ the King, Mary the Queen

DVRodriguez2024-10-22T11:39:10-04:00

Christ is Lord of All. This truth is upheld by the reaching on the social and universal Kingship of Christ. Few Catholics proclaim this truth today, yet we must accept it to be saved for it is an infallible dogma. We also celebrate several feasts of Our Lady in these days. October 11 is her Divine Maternity. This is the principal mystery of her life from which flow all her privileges. On October 12 we celebrate her first apparition to St. James (a type of her miraculous pillar is found in Exodus). Our Lady wrought the great Miracle of the Sun [...]

Three Examples of the Incredible Power of the Rosary

DVRodriguez2024-10-07T22:21:33-04:00

In 1571, Pope St. Pius V called all Christendom to pray the Rosary. In response, Our Lady routed the superior Moslem forces at the naval Battle of Lepanto. At Hiroshima, She protected eight Jesuits priests, living the Message of Fatima, from the atomic bomb. In the 1960s, Brazil was saved from communism by the Rosary. The Blessed Mother told St. Dominic that the Rosary is a most powerful means to [1] dissipate heresy, [2] extinguish vice, [3] spread virtue, [4] implore God's mercy, and [5] obtain her protection. And in our time, God has granted the Rosary even more power, so [...]

Man is Not Self Sufficient

DVRodriguez2024-10-02T12:24:58-04:00

There are many evils around us. Let us not be fearful, bitter or fall into despair. From all eternity God made us to live in this specific time and to be sanctified in this battle. He is ready to help us, but we must pray. If God did not require this of us we would forget Him and fall. By remaining in a state of grace, we are disposed to receive God's gifts. But we must still ask. Ask without ceasing and with sincere desire and firm confidence. We have the greatest prayer available – Holy Mass. Do not take it [...]

Carry Your Cross Well

DVRodriguez2024-09-26T11:59:38-04:00

Jesus and Mary were united at the foot of the cross – in His passion and death. When carried well, the cross is the source, food, and proof of love. To truly love Jesus, one must first learn to suffer. Now the gifts of grace do increase as trials increase. It seems a new phase in Father's trials has begun on the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, which has been the date many trials have begun throughout his priesthood. As many of you know, Fr Rodríguez dedicated his priesthood to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary at ordination. He [...]

Greatest of All Apparitions

DVRodriguez2024-09-28T22:46:15-04:00

Catholics follow many devotions and apparitions, yet 99% do not know the full Message of Fatima. This is a glaring red flag because Fatima is the greatest of all apparitions and the one most necessary for our time. No other apparition has received as much papal approval or so great a sign of divine confirmation. Every Catholic must know about the First Saturday Devotion and the need for Russia’s Consecration. St. John Eudes also gives us reasons why devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is so important.

To Really Believe in the Assumption

DVRodriguez2024-10-02T12:36:20-04:00

Many mysteries are commemorated in the Assumption. They are a window into the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our Lady stayed on earth making the greatest sacrifice to help build up the Church and propagate the Faith. These mysteries teach us how to live as faithful Catholics. We must persevere in God’s grace, greatly desire Heaven, not be attached to this earth, and prepare for a holy death.

Our Lady Requests Churches Be Built

DVRodriguez2024-09-15T21:59:39-04:00

In the heat of Rome's summer, Our Lady dropped snow to indicate where the greatest church in her honor was to be built. St. Mary Major is home to both the manger from Bethlehem and Salus Populi Romani, St. Luke's miraculous painting of Madonna and Child. Our Blessed Mother is inseparable from Her Divine Son. Jesus chooses to enter the world – and our life – through her! At many of her apparitions, Our Lady requests a church be built, not only to receive our prayers and come to our aid, but to renew the Sacrifice of Her Son. Strive to [...]

Precious Blood of Jesus

DVR Fatima2024-09-12T07:23:43-04:00

From the sermon Seven Petitions to the Precious Blood (Tenth Sunday after Pentecost) Precious Blood of Jesus, shed at the circumcision, make me chaste of mind, heart and body. Precious Blood of Jesus, shed in the agony of the garden, grant me to love above all things the holy and adorable will of God. Precious Blood of Jesus, shed in the scourging at the pillar, inspire me with a keen sorrow for my sins and a love of suffering. Precious Blood of Jesus, shed in the crowning with thorns, grant me a love of humiliations. Precious Blood of Jesus, shed in [...]

By God’s Grace I Am What I Am

DVRodriguez2024-09-08T21:25:22-04:00

St. Paul humbly acknowledges his unworthiness because he persecuted Christ and His Church. Yet God loved him, elected him, and granted him an undeserved grace. Paul responded. He cooperated – and never went back. Thus, the grace was not in vain. And what of us? We are weak. But we too receive great graces. The world is noisy and blocks out inspirations of grace. Even if we have not cooperated before, let us begin now. Open your ears and be faithful to prayer.
